Absolutely crazy Reddit thread. A few observations:
Lloyd has very little support there. Only a handful of supportive comments and most of these were downvoted and in the negative.
People are still VERY angry at him, and this newbie telling their story of being conned by him to donate absolutely triggered more than a few people.
Sashee’s Mom did herself and Lloyd no favours there and seemed to illustrate how Lloyd triggers his followers into insane cultists.
Now even his followers on Reddit have to preface any supportive comments with statements of disgust for his behaviour and a few actually called him a narcissist. He’ll never shake this label.
Twitter and now Reddit are largely no-go areas for Lloyd and his followers. This is a problem that is not going away as the new donors find new outlets and social networks. He used to absolutely rule both of those and they largely served as his playground. He doesn’t go to Reddit as any comment there would cause a stir. His tweets are largely ignored and his likes and quality of followers have taken a huge hit.
In his book he actually encourages people to seek out that subReddit for support. He’ll be sure to edit that part out when/if he gets a second edition out. If he is to succeed he is going to have to mostly isolate his followers from social media and it’s going to be a daily battle for him.
